Illusion 101: Impossible

In this piece, I celebrate the wonder and mystery of magic. A charismatic magician, their face obscured by shadow, holds aloft a playing card in one hand and a wand in the other. The text “Illusion 101” and “Impossible” hover above, hinting at the dazzling tricks about to unfold. The magician’s posture is confident, and the bold red of the playing card draws the viewer’s eye. The background fades to a deep black, creating a sense of intrigue and anticipation.

I was inspired by the classic magic posters of the early 20th century, which often featured magicians with an air of mystery. I wanted to capture the excitement and wonder that magic evokes, and to create a piece that would spark the viewer’s imagination.
